“Last winter was brutal, especially for people who had to struggle to pay the costs of heating their homes,” says Lamont McClure. “I would encourage any eligible senior to sign up for the Emergency Fuel Assistance Program. No one should be without heat when the weather turns
bad.”
In order to be eligible, an individual needs to be 60 years of age or older, reside in Northampton County, and have already applied for and received or been denied Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) benefits. Their fuel tank needs to be at 1/8 full or
less and, for non-oil heat, the individual must have received a shut-off notice.
Referrals can be called in to Northampton County Information & Referral 610-559-3270.
When a referral is received, a Northampton County Area Agency on Aging Caremanager will contact the individual to determine eligibility.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
